Professor Robinson's humor, energy and ability to
articulate lessons from his mediation experiences
have made him a popular lecturer and trainer; he has presented advanced
negotiation and mediation skills courses in more than thirty states and in
Argentina, Canada, England, Holland, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Japan,
Jordan, Mexico, France, and Rwanda.

Prior to joining the Pepperdine community, he served as the director of
the Christian Conciliation Service of Los Angeles (CCS), a non-profit dispute
resolution center, and a staff attorney for a U.S. Government agency that
insures pension benefits pursuant to ERISA. He has served on the board of
CCS, Ventura Center for Dispute Settlement, Dispute Resolution Services
of the LACBA, the Southern California Mediation Association (SMCA), and
the California Dispute Resolution Council. The SCMA recognized him as
Peacemaker of the Year in 1999. He is an honorary fellow of the International
Academy of Mediators.
The Los Angeles Magazine has recognized Professor Robinson as a Southern
California Super Lawyer in the area of mediation, intermittently since 2006.
